Bluff Master Movie Review

Uttam Kumar (Satya Dev) is a con man who believes that as long people are greedy they can be duped.

He dupes several people but what he doesnt expect that there are forces that would use his tricks to involve him in a mess.

He marries a girl (Nandita Swetha) and decides to live simple life with her leaving the bluff masters job. But he is forced to pull off a last trick by a gunda (Aditya Menon).

Analysis:-

Bluff Master is remake of 2014 hit Tamil movie Sathuranga Vettai. The original movie was structured into episodes, which provided some uniqueness to the regular story of a conman.

Telugu director Gopi has removed this aspect and narrated it in plain way and this is change he has done has worked against to the movie. Other than this, he has been faithful to the Tamil con thriller but he has failed to narrate it in gripping way.

A movie about conman works only when the tricks are interesting or the bluffs that he pulls off are enjoyable. But like the screenplay of Bluff Master, the con acts are also utterly predictable. There are no major turns and twists.

The screenplay runs on expected lines and along the way tests the patience. Few minutes into the second half, one gets the deja vu feel and wishes it to be ended quickly.

The so called sentiment scene between heroine and a villain character is full of melodrama that reminds 80s movies and moreover Nandita goes overboard in her expressions making the watching experience even more unbearable.

Even the character graph of lead actor is uneven. He is presented as remorseless guy in the beginning but he changes his heart suddenly and confidently. The romantic track between hero and heroine doesnt convince at all. Why she falls for him

This Bluff Master pulls off tricks like selling snakes as lucky mascots, duping people with multiple marketing tricks. And his biggest masterstroke is rice pulling, all these con acts were seen in many of our movies.

What are so special about his bluffs The cons are too easy; the guys who got duped act more like dumb fellows.

Though Satya Dev is talented actor, he has not suited for this conman act. His image of character actor doesnt suit for this role. The lethargic narration is the main drawback.

All in all, Bluff Master doesnt pull off any interesting tricks, all the games dust bite
